Christmas at the Airport

[Intro]
A
[Verse]
Bm
Outside the taxi window
E A
On the way to catch my flight
Bm
I noticed snowflakes playing
E A
In the ever failing light
F# Bm
When you dropped me at departures
E C#m A F#m
It was really coming down
Bm
Deep and crisp and even
E A
And it settled on the ground
D E A
It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the airport
Bm
All the planes are grounded
E A
And the fog is rolling in
D E

A F#m

Bm

E A

Bm

E A

Bm

E A
And bedded down in there
F# Bm
When I woke much later
E C#m A F#m
I was really quite alone
Bm
Checkin' was deserted
E A
Everyone had gone
D E
It looks like Christmas, Christmas
A
at the airport
Bm
I took a set of X rays
E A
and they came out very well
D E
It looks like Christmas, Christmas
A F#m
at the airport this year
Bm
Now I'm doing Santa's sleigh ride
E A
on the baggage carousel
D E A
It looks like Christmas, Christmas at the airport
Bm
I should be at the table
E A
with all my kith and kin
D E
It looks like Christmas, Christmas
A F#m
at the airport this year
Bm
Don't save me any turkey
E A
I found a burger in a bin
